'We sweat together': Risking it all to help North Korean defectors

Available for over a year

South Korean Pastor Kim Seongeun risks his life helping desperate families to flee North Korea. He has crossed icy rivers, dodged poisonous snakes and badly injured his back accompanying defectors on one of the most treacherous journeys in the world. To date his church, Caleb Mission, has helped over 1,000 people reach freedom in South Korea. What keeps him going is a promise he made to his son. Pastor Kim tells us about the Roh family whose lives were hanging in the balance when they called him for help. The documentary Beyond Utopia centres on his work.
